government. If I were an Israeli citizen, I would not vote for his Likkud party.

But, I do not think that his attack on Iranian National Guard commanders in Syria was motivated by a desire to keep out of prison. His actions prior to 10/7 regarding Israeli courts was an attempt to stay out of prison.

But the killing of the Iranian Guard commanders was in response to attacks on Israel by Hezbollah, which the Iranian Guard aids and supports as a proxy terrorist group.

Fetterman does not come across to me as a guy who makes public statements just to get attention. But I think that Biden has the wisdom and experience to handle the situation better.
